Indonesia’s Gerindra Party has expressed respect for Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s decision to resign, marking it as a sign of democratic maturity. The party emphasized the importance of maintaining government stability amidst these developments. Gibran’s resignation was formally submitted to the leadership of Indonesia’s People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR), a move that Gerindra believes underscores the prioritization of national interests over personal political ambitions.

Sugiat Santoso, a spokesperson for Gerindra, stated that these political changes are part of the democratic process in the country. He assured that the resignation should not interfere with the delivery of public services or affect government welfare programs. The party remains steadfast in its support for President Prabowo Subianto’s administration, and Santoso noted that communication among coalition partners remains unaffected.

The MPR is now tasked with discussing Gibran’s resignation. This will be handled through leadership meetings and a plenary session involving parliamentary faction leaders. The assembly has a period of up to 60 days to appoint a permanent replacement for Gibran.

Gerindra has called on all political parties to facilitate a smooth constitutional transition to ensure the government continues its work without disruption. The emphasis remains on sustaining stability and continuity in governance as the political landscape undergoes these changes.
